She shared an article from EarthSky.
The headline, Asteroid hit Canada hours after discovery, sounded a little dramatic. I skimmed it. It had only been detected a short time before it entered our atmosphere.
A Leonid?
And then I tried to corroborate it. Fact checking time.
The CN tower image was doctored. Not sure why...
Scrolled down.
I noted the addition in the PHA table below, marked in red:
- asteroid 2022 WJ1, 2022-Nov-19 (UT), distance 0 LD, speed 14.8 km/s, size 1 metre
Zero lunar distances... Don't usual see that. And it means—duck!
Forwarded the SW page to Rhonda.
